March 8, 200917 yr Do you all think BCG also told Miller not to shoot? It appears that way to me. I don't think even Miller even looked at the basket and though while he is not always aggressive, I've never seen him this passive. I think that may be why he committed 6 turnovers in 15 minutes. He was forcing passes over the top and I wonder if BCG told him he wasn't allowed to shoot.
March 9, 200917 yr :confused::confused: Where is he going to go? Transfer and sit out his senior year The NBA maybe?
March 9, 200917 yr It just keeps getting better. http://www.gatorsports.com/article/20090307/COLUMNISTS/903070933/1044?Title=Defensive-effort-toughness-carry-UF-past-Cats And after Meeks hit a 3-pointer early in the second half, he felt the brunt of Billy Gillispie’s wrath on the sidelines. “Meeks and I were standing there after the timeout and he said his coach told him not to shoot anymore,” Shipman said. Doubly baffling. Patterson kept them in the game in the first half even though he was missing shots. 54 got one shot in the second half. Inexcusable. Meeks has been playing shooting poorly since the Ole Miss game with the exception of Arkansas. He has been forcing way too many shots. He simply will not pass the ball when he drives. I think BCG just wanted him to work it through the post a little.

I think BCG just wanted him to work it through the post a little. I understand he takes a bad shot every now and then, but Id rather have him take a bad one than see some other guys shoot period. This is going to get blown out of proportion. I see it as something said in the heat of battle as of right now. Obviously Meeks isn't happy, but who would be with losing as much as we have lost lately.
March 9, 200917 yr Coach says "Stop forcing shots." Player hears: "Stop shooting" Are you trying to insert a rational argument into this thread???!! Outrageous.
March 9, 200917 yr Author I read somewhere else today that Meeks has the green light - ALWAYS and this story was absolutely false (according to Gillispie).

March 10, 200917 yr I think Billy should run off Meeks, so he can start 5 of his recruits. I mean, who can win with Tubby's players anyway? :thumb::laugh::laugh: Uh Oh! here it goes........:popcorn:
March 10, 200917 yr Are you trying to insert a rational argument into this thread???!! Outrageous. That's just what I was thinking. :lol: I have questioned several of Gillispies in game bench coaching and adjustments but to tell Meeks not to shoot the ball? :ohbrother: I can't buy into that at all.

I think BCG just wanted him to work it through the post a little. Now this I can believe, maybe for Meeks to go inside to Patterson and then inside/out the ball but definately not to shoot.
March 10, 200917 yr Coach says "Stop forcing shots." Player hears: "Stop shooting" :thumb: I am sure that BCG wanted him to stop forcing some of his shots. He really didn't start doing this until the end of the season when UK started playing so poorly. For most of the year, he didn't force his shots. The past few weeks, he has.
